rev up your engines, Craig says Scotty why do I see cars dripping gas out of
the exhaust what's the problem, okay if you have actual gas dripping out of the
exhaust and you smell gasoline, something is wrong, the fuel injectors are leaking or
MAF sensor is wrong and it's putting too much gas in the engine or the ignition
system is not working, but all cars at some point in time will drip water out of
your exhaust, because when you burn gasoline which is nothing but hydrogen
and carbon and you burn it in Earth's atmosphere, one of the byproducts is h2o
water vapor and they all drip a little bit of water out that's normal for any
car, so if you don't see them dripping put your finger in the drip and if it's
just water that's normal if it's gasoline you got a problem, but if its
water that's totally normal, Pegero says I can't get my oil filter off my 06 Ford
Escape Hybrid please help, if oil filters get stuck the main reason they get stuck
is some fool put it on wrong, when you take off an oil filter, the top of it there's
a rubber gasket, the new one you have to put clean engine oil on that gasket, that
makes it stay on and then it will come off because there's lubrication, some
fools will put a dry one on a new filter just dry, you can get it on but then it
won't come off, somebody probably did that, if they did, you have to get an oil filter
wrench that fits perfectly on there, then get a long bar like I do that fits on that
socket and pull on it, you can always get them off, now if you don't want to buy
the tool and it's stuck, here's a trick I've done years ago, I got a long
screwdriver you can get long screwdrivers anywhere and you just get a
sledge hammer and the long screwdriver and you Ram a hole through both sides of the oil
filter, then you turn that giant screwdriver and it'll get it off it'll
make a mess but it'll get it off, because you'll have the giant screwdriver going
through both sides and you can pry it off
I've done that a lot of ones that are really stuck if I don't have a tool that fits
on them right, Freddy Hollandsworth said when was the
last time you saw a GM diesel car, oh man it was decades ago, if you remember they
made the grave mistake of changing their 350 v8 gasoline engine into a diesel
engine and it was one of the most half-assed things ever done and almost
all those engines broke down way too early, if you make a diesel engine you
gotta make it from scratch, you don't decide, oh well here's our gasoline v8
let's convert it to a diesel v8, it was a massive failure, they had a bunch of
lawsuits against them for it, I had customers with them and they basically
fell apart when they got to be six, seven years old there were junk, you could pick
them up for nothing but everybody knew they were junk, but the poor people are bought
them brand-new they all got screwed over, Giovanni Romano says Scotty is it bad
when gasoline mixes with your engine oil, my honda CRV has this issue thanks
yes it's very bad, it means that there's something going wrong that you're
getting either too much fuel into the engine that's not burning or a worst
case scenario, your head gasket is starting to blow and it's mixing cuz the head
gasket starting to blow, the first thing you want to do is watch my video, how to
tell if your head gasket is blown check it out and if it's blown then you got to
put a head gasket in or get rid of the vehicle, if it isn't, then find out what's
doing it because when you dilute the engine oil with gasoline
it doesn't lubricate right, it will ruin the engine bearings, it'll wear the Pistons
out, it'll wear the valvetrain out, it'll do all kinds of damage it's a very
bad thing, you want to fix find out what the problem is, you don't want to drive
it a long way that way, no says the cap for my radiator will not unscrew on
my 89 Mustang four cylinder please help, normally on those, the regular caps
you got to push down a little and turn it at the same time, if it's really stuck
I have a giant pair of pliers that are like this long, you can get them online
for $20, you put those giant pliers on and push with one hand the cap down and
with the giant pliers pull it, those caps will come off, it may be a somewhat older
car but it's still plastic radiator on it and if the
radiator neck breaks off when you do that, that just means it's brittle and
it's shot anyways you needed to buy a new radiator, but most of the time you
could push them with giant pair of pliers turn it and get them off, I've
done that many times, it's one of the main reasons I use my giant pair of
pliers, sérgio Karate says Scotty what do you
think of buying an 02 Ford Escape midnight edition for $9,000 with 105
thousand, the lady bought it new and only did five thousand k a year and did all
the service on it, I'm assuming you mean one hundred and five thousand kilometers
because if you mean miles, nine thousand dollars is too much for a 17 year old
Ford with a hundred and five thousand miles, I would not pay that much money I
would pay a lot less, if it's kilometres it's okay not a great deal but if it's
mileage I would pay a lot less than that, that's a lot of miles for a seventeen
year old car to pay that kind of money for it, I mean if you could get it for three
or four grand less and be okay but I wouldn't pay that much if it's a hundred
and five thousand miles, so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell!
